Over the last few years the independent games scene has grown considerably. Among the hundreds of games out there produced by small-time and aspiring games companies are several that are well suited to play on a home arcade cabinet. Here is a list of just some of the low-budget games out there that fit the bill, several of which have free demo versions available.

Note to editors: Please only include games that are known to play well using standard arcade controls.

  • Airstrike II - an excellent shooter
  • Bomberman vs Digger - what would happen if Bomberman, Digger and Boulderdash had babies
  • BreakQuest - an incarnation of Breakout/Arkanoid
  • Guardian - a side-scrolling shooter a-la Defender
  • Hamsterball - a fun Marble Madness inspired game
  • Juno Nemesis - a modern take on Tempest
  • Mutant Storm - a dual-joystick Robotron style game
  • Platypus - a side-scrolling shooter with clay graphics
